Even before the 10th century, an ancient oratory dedicated to the Virgin Mary was built against the cliff on the edge of the spectacular Alzou Canyon. Rocamadour became an important pilgrimage place in the Christian West as Santiago de Compostella, thanks to the progress of the Marian cult and thanks to the discovery, in 1166, of the body named St Amadour.

According to the legend, it was the hermit Dadon who gave Conques its name, from the Latin "concha" ("shell"), due to its rocky configuration. Joined by other monks, Dadon founded a community according to the code of Saint Benoît. Protestants ruined the monastery in the 16th century: it was partially burned, as were others in Aveyron.
